I'm the SYSADMIN, and I'm here pushing snow

[DainBramaged]

the vaunted group of douche bags who make up the sales force didn't show. 59 and I get to push snow.


I should have stayed home. :mad:

1. You take adequate rest periods. FREQUENTLY.

And then you think about grabbing the first teenager you see and handing him a shovel and some money.

2. +1000 n/t

[tekisui]

3. Don't overdo it.

[hlthe2b]

4. No coffee, no cigarettes before shoveling; stop if your heart rate spikes

really high; stay hydrated and rest as needed. Stop immediately if you feel at all dizzy.

15. Takin' a break (don't smoke, don't drink coffee) I wore too much clothing

sweatin like a pig........


Thansk everyone for your concern. This sucks.

5. Get a 10BaseT router and run all of the sales force computers through it.

"Hey, why is the net so slow?" (Translation: "My porn sites are taking FOREVER to load today.")

"Shit, I don't know. Nothing has changed." (Translation: "I was out shoveling snow while you douchebags were home jerking off to Internet porn.")

"Can you look into it?" (Translation: "I need some fresh porn RIGHT FUCKING NOW!")

"Oh, sure. I'll get right on it." (Translation: "Fuck no. Dickweed.")

Leave it that way. They'll get used to the reduced bandwidth. Salesholes aren't all that bright. It will just free up bandwidth for everyone else - you in particular.

7. I've got a mid-90s Acer sitting in a cabinet, gathering dust. It is painfully slow.

I should send it to him!

8. That was funny!

Yep, sales types barely know how to work their Blackberries!

[HopeHoops]

9. Trust me. I know. There's a reason I call them "salesholes".

[cliffordu]

11. BOFH???

[Greyhound]

13. Your decrepitude is showing...

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

14. I KNEW I'd find a playah here someplace!!!!

:rofl:

[DainBramaged]

16. I got one I just may stick in the system before I go home

and screw them for tomorrow. An OLD 5 port 10MB.

[HopeHoops]

17. Yep. That will do. See if you can scrounge up some CAT-3 patch cords for it.

You might as well rub salt in the wounds.

Seriously, salesholes are so dumb they'll think it is "normal" within a week. Leave it that way so you can throttle their porn downloads and take credit for speeding up the network for people who do REAL work.

On Edit:

If you have a second 10BT hanging around, put the marketeers on it. They're almost as dumb as the salesholes, but with slightly less porn.

10. Perhaps some humor?

:-)

[HopeHoops]

18. Yeah, I'm still putting triple-antibiotic ointment on those glass cuts.

I shouldn't have done it barefoot and in my underwear.

Uptime is everything.

19. The clouds JUST disappeared like in a movie and the sun is out

there's no place like home, there's no place like home.
